Weekly News

This week in Math we will be working on writing equations, given different types of information.  First we will be writing an equation, given a point and slope.  Then we will write equations given two points.  Finally, we will work on translating between point-slope form, slope-intercept form, and standard form.  On Friday, we will be looking more closely at x-intercepts and y-intercepts.

In Science we will be completing our last mini-unit on photovoltaic (solar) cells.  We will complete an investigation throughout the week, and answer analysis questions on Friday.

On Tuesday, we will be completing our MAP test for Math.  The goal number to be on grade level for the middle of 8th grade, is 232.

Please remember there is no school on Monday due to observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.  See you Tuesday!
